So only one more frame required by Ding. I hope Wasley can take it to a decider.

Wasley has proven to be a good player but his temperament irritates me. Ding has gained lots of experience closing out matches whilst under pressure so I hope he gets the job done swiftly here.

I can't say I'm enjoying the seeds struggling again, like last year and the year before. But it's made for some interesting matches. :smile:

Ding has been very strong in the key frames towards the end of matches this season, winning a lot of them with big breaks, but it's mostly been when he was playing well in general. Here he is struggling a bit, but I still fancy him to prevail under pressure tonight.

I can't believe what John Higgins was doing on the other table... That cut on the black when he had a big lead in the frame, instead of putting something safe. It was almost like he lost all interest in winning the match and just went for the maximum, as if to compensate for all the crap he played earlier. He played a similar shot some time ago, can't remember which match, when he attempted a red in off the pink after he'd lost position, crazy shot that turned out to be his last in that match. Very unusual, if you consider his textbook shot selection over the course of his career. He got out of this pretty well though, only 6-3 down. But McManus is not playing bad at all. :smile:

After the Ding match it said one game started at 7:10 and the other at 7:25, god knows why? I'm on the red button.

Thanks.

Looks like some football rubbish on Eurosport1. It's really annoying.

Probably took them some amount of time to change over the audience after late Ding finish

Both matches started just before 7:10pm. Eurosport 1 didn't televise until 7:30pm. Pretty poor.

Ohh i see, i'm on freeview 301

I really can't see Michael White causing an upset tonight. Selby looks too strong. Set to go 7-4 up now.

How the other half live... LOL

Kyren has put his first frame on the board.

Nothing unusual about that where Eurosport are concerned as you will know, that channel is the absolute last resort for me.

Yes. It's pretty bad.

A very nice total clearance of 137 by Ricky. So far a cracking match.
